| Transition 7 to 8
Leeming Senior High School places great importance
on the transition process. We feel it is very important for
students to feel comfortable in their learning environment
as this provides the basis for a successful high school career.
Great consideration is given to the needs of the students when
they enroll in Year Eight and everything possible is done to
ensure their own personal skills and talents are respected
and developed. |
|
In order to make this happen there are several
strategies we have implemented. |
We invite primary school students as early as Years Five and Six
to the school to participate in lessons that give them a taste
for all that high school has to offer. It has proven to be a very
positive experience for all concerned and provides the students
with a sense of direction. It is also a lot of fun!
We encourage open communication between our teachers and those
teachers in the local primary schools. Visits between schools are
conducted to ensure that high school teachers are aware of prior
learning and can program accordingly.
Our SAER (Student at Educational Risk) coordinator and Year Eight
coordinator visit schools to discuss the individual requirements
of each students and ensure that their teachers in Year Eight
are aware of their educational requirements but also their achievements.
Parents of Year Sevens are invited to the school for orientation
days and parent information evenings to ensure they are aware of
the procedures within the school and the staff and facilities available.
At the end of the school year all the students enrolled at Leeming
are invited to the school for an orientation day when they are
shown around the school, made aware of the people and places who
will be important in their school routine and generally enjoy a
fun day full of variety. It is important that students attend this
day as important information will be given and it really does put
the students at ease with the forthcoming school year.
Leeming Senior High School prides itself on providing a transition
program that is both useful and rewarding for the students approaching
high school and will continue to place great importance on this
transition process as part of the school's policy.
